Fellow Descendants, the fight to protect the Ingris continent just got a bit fairer. Nexon has released the results of their latest enforcement wave from October 2 to October 16, 2025, targeting those undermining our shared mission against the invaders. As we delve into the secrets of our lineage through missions and boss fights, this crackdown preserves the integrity of our cooperative struggles in The First Descendant.
Ban Hammer Falls: The Numbers
During this period, 20 players faced permanent bans for creating, distributing, or using unauthorized programs and cheats—tools that twist the third-person combat and loot systems to unfair advantages. Another 25 got hit with permanent bans for exploiting the Open Store payment processes, potentially disrupting the economy we all rely on for gearing up our characters. On top of that, a whopping 1,113 users received 3-day penalties in separate matchmaking for unusual gameplay, keeping the multiplayer boss arenas honest.
What If You Think Your Ban Was a Mistake?
If you're among those penalized for Open Store issues or chargebacks, Nexon provides an appeal process through customer support. This gives wrongly accused Descendants a chance to clear their name and return to forging their path in the narrative-driven world, ensuring the system's focus remains on true abusers without alienating dedicated players.
Impact on Our Shared Legacy
These actions directly bolster the role-playing depth and adventure in The First Descendant, where growing stronger through fair missions uncovers the lore's mysteries. By weeding out exploiters, Nexon maintains balanced progression and team-based challenges, letting us focus on strategic builds and cooperative triumphs rather than dodging cheaters. Ultimately, this shapes a healthier community, enhancing how we uncover the Descendants' secrets together.
